Southern Cape Safari Overnight Tour 2 Day 1 Night

Southern Cape Safari Overnight Adventure

We set off from Cape Town on a 2 Day & 1 night Adventure towards the Garden Route exciting destination of Botlierskop Private Game Reserve – For an unforgettable Cape safari experience.

Nestled between the magnificent Outeniqua Mountains and the pristine beaches of the Indian Ocean, in the heart of the Garden Route, lies the 4,200-hectare Botlierskop Cape Safari Game Reserve. This malaria-free, family-owned, and privately operated reserve offers visitors an authentic African wildlife encounter.

Discovering Wildlife on the Garden Route

Botlierskop is home to an impressive abundance of animals, including four of the Big Five – lions, elephants, buffalo and rhinos – along with giraffes, hippos, golden wildebeest, mountain zebra, and even the rare black impala. With its diverse birdlife, meandering rivers, lush forest areas, rolling valleys, and rugged mountain plateaus, the reserve provides the perfect backdrop for an adventurous three-hour 4×4 safari game drive.

After immersing ourselves in the thrill of the wild, we pause for an authentic, traditional African lunch served in the elegant thatched-roof restaurant, a perfect way to reflect on the morning’s wildlife encounters.

Scenic Return Journey to Cape Town

By midday, we leave the game farm and begin our journey back to the Mother City, Cape Town. Our route leads us through the wide-open countryside of the Overberg region, a fertile farming area once known as the gateway to the Cape interior.

Along the way, we travel through Mossel Bay, Albertinia, and Riversdale, before stopping for a coffee break in Swellendam, South Africa’s third-oldest town. From here, we continue westward towards Cape Town.

Final Highlight: Sir Lowry’s Pass

No overnight tour would be complete without one last highlight – the spectacular Sir Lowry’s Pass. Rising to an elevation of 452 meters, this mountain pass offers sweeping views of False Bay, the surrounding mountains, lush green plains, and the sprawling Cape Peninsula, with the iconic Table Mountain visible in the distance.

Keep your eyes open – while marveling at the scenery, you may spot local baboons perched on the rocky outcrops. By late afternoon or early evening, we arrive back in Cape Town, marking the end of your 2-day, 1-night Cape Town safari and overnight tour.
